Abstract
TRUJILLO-MEJIA, Alexander; ZAPATA-CONTRERAS, Lorena; MELO-AGUILAR, Lina Paola and GIL-MONTOYA, Leonardo Fabio. Enhancing recovery in pediatric major abdominal surgery: a narrative review of the literature. Rev. colomb. anestesiol. [online]. 2020, vol.48, n.1, pp.30-37. Epub Feb 28, 2020. ISSN 0120-3347. https://doi.org/10.1097/cj9.0000000000000130.
Introduction:
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programs in adults have positively impacted morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Its effects on the pediatric population is recognized.
Objective:
To prepare a narrative review on the current evidence of the various strategies within the framework of enhancing recovery after pediatric surgery, in the context of major abdominal surgery.
Methods:
A search was conducted on the scientific evidence available in databases (Pubmed/Medline, Science Direct, OVID, SciELO), in order to prepare a narrative literature review.
Conclusion:
Notwithstanding the limited evidence on the practicality of the ERAS protocols in the pediatric population undergoing major abdominal surgery, better results could be accomplished if these strategies are adopted.
